Warehouse Results

After the optimization has been completed you can analyze the results using various tables, bar charts and maps. On this page you can find reports of the results related to the Warehouse category, such as:

You can read about the period selector in Period Selector.

Warehouse Capacity Violation Bar Chart warehouse top left sign

This bar chart shows the capacity violation for all periods and for all warehouses. The name of the warehouse is shown on the x-axis and the number of periods is shown on the y-axis.

../../../_images/capacity_violation_barchart_warehouse_1.png

The bar chart is color-coded based on the status of the warehouse, which can be one of the following:

  • Red (Violated): when the capacity utilization is higher than its limit

  • Orange (Near bounds): when the capacity utilization is close (above 95%) to its limit

  • Green (Within bounds): when the capacity utilization is within its limits

  • Gray (Inactive): when the warehouse is not active

When hovering over one the columns or scatters in the bar chart, a tooltip with more information appears for that column:

../../../_images/capacity_violation_barchart_warehouse_2.png

When clicking on one of the warehouses in the bar chart, the data for the selected warehouse appears in the Throughput and Inventory- All Periodes bar chart and the node of the warehouse gets a black outline on the Capacity Violations map. Furthermore, the rows which belong to the selected warehouse are highlighted in the tables Warehouse Throughput Usage and Warehouse Throughput Usage by Product.

You can display the legend by clicking on the legend sign icon on the upper right corner of the widget.

Throughput and Inventory - All Periods Bar Chart warehouse top right sign

This bar chart shows the throughput and the inventory levels for a selected warehouse for all periods. The period is shown on the x-axis and the throughput and inventory data are shown on the y-axis. The throughput data are shown as bars and the inventory data are shown as line and scatter. You can select a warehouse by clicking on one of the warehouses in the bar charts Capacity Violation-All Periods or Throughput and Inventory. You can also select a warehouse by clicking on it on the Capacity Violations map.

../../../_images/warehouse_throughput_inventory_per_period_barchart_1.png

The bar chart is color-coded based on the status of the warehouse, which can be one of the following:

  • Red (Violated): when the capacity utilization is higher than its limit

  • Orange (Near bounds): when the capacity utilization is close (above 95%) to its limit

  • Green (Within bounds): when the capacity utilization is within its limits

  • Gray (Inactive): when the warehouse is not active

When hovering over one the columns (or scatters) in the bar chart, a tooltip with more information appears for that column (or scatter):

../../../_images/warehouse_throughput_inventory_per_period_barchart_2.png

The tooltip shows a variety of information:

  • The warehouse, location, period currently viewing

  • Throughput volume in bar

  • Throughput maximum capacity

  • Throughput minimum capacity

  • Inventory level in dot

  • Inventory maximum capacity

  • Inventory minimum capacity

This chart can also display the warehouse capacity and warehouse product capacity beside the volume, allowing for a direct comparison among the metrics. You can toggle on or off the capacity display by the widget action in top right corner.

../../../_images/warehouse_throughput_inventory_per_period_barchart_3.png

Note that the tooltip of the warehouse capacity shows the corresponding maximum capacity and minimum capacity.

When showing warehouse product capacity, the capacity bar stacks up all related products vertically, and the tooltip shows the maximum capacity and the throughput/inventory of the corresponding product. Minimum capacity is not displayed here.

Throughput and Inventory Single Period Bar Chart warehouse bottom left sign

This bar chart shows the total throughput and inventory for the selected period for all warehouses. By default, the table shows the data for the first period. If you select another period, the data in the bar chart will change accordingly.

The name of the warehouse is shown on the x-axis and the throughput and inventory data are shown on the y-axis. The throughput data is shown as bars and the inventory data is shown as scatter.

Warehouse Capacity Violations Map warehouse bottom right sign

This map presents all the warehouses in the model for the selected period. By default, the table shows the data for the first period.

../../../_images/capacity_violation_warehouse_map_1.png

The nodes are color-coded based on the status of the warehouse, which can be one of the following:

  • Red (Violated): when the capacity utilization is higher than its limit

  • Orange (Near bounds): when the capacity utilization is close (above 95%) to its limit

  • Green (Within bounds): when the capacity utilization is within its limits

  • Black (Inactive): when the warehouse is not active

When clicking on one of the warehouses on the map, the data for the selected warehouse appears in the bar chart Throughput and Inventory. The node of the selected warehouse gets a black outline on the map.

You can resize the dots on the map as follows:

  1. Click on the menu icon settings sign for widget actions at the upper right side of the map widget

  2. Click on the Resize dots by volume option

  3. The higher the volume of the warehouse, the larger its dot drawn on the map

Warehouse Throughput Usage Table warehouse first table sign

The table Warehouse Throughput Usage shows results related to the warehouse throughput.

../../../_images/warehouse_throughput_usage_table.png

Note

  • In use: This indicates whether the warehouse is active in the given period.

  • Binding products: This is the number of the products for which the volume is higher/lower than the limits or near the limits.

The volume column is color-coded based on the status of the warehouse:

  • Red (Violated): when the capacity utilization is higher than its limit

  • Orange (Near bounds): when the capacity utilization is close (above 95%) to its limit

  • Green (Within bounds): when the capacity utilization is within its limits

The rows which belong to the selected warehouse are highlighted in the table.

Note

When there is “Inventory Available” in the dataset, the “Volume” column will be come separate columns as Inbound and Outbound.

Warehouse Inventory Usage Table warehouse third table sign

The table Warehouse Inventory Usage shows the warehouse inventory related results.
